Lyrics
What is this thing I'm hearing
Reflecting on the auditory experience and trying to comprehend a message.
When I listen to you talk?
Curiosity about the content and impact of the listener's communication.
That paralyzes me completely
Expressing a feeling of being immobilized by something heard.
Drains my brain and brakes my bones
Feeling mentally and physically drained by the communicated content.
It's not the words you put together
Highlighting that the issue is not the choice of words.
It's not the brilliance of his tune
Emphasizing that the brilliance of the message's delivery is not the cause.
You're dancing to
Reference to the act of dancing, suggesting a metaphorical engagement.
I don't envy that he's clever
Acknowledging someone's cleverness without envy.
I envy that he's gotten used to you
Envy of the person's familiarity or comfort with the listener.
It's not your voice and your phrasing
Stating that the attraction is not merely in the voice and expression.
It's not the point that you're raising
Dismissing the specific arguments or points being made.
It's the alarm of a happy ending
Referring to an alarm triggered by the anticipation of a positive outcome.
Of this fate that I insist on escaping
Expressing a desire to escape a predestined fate associated with happiness.
What is this thing I'm dreaming?
Pondering a surreal or idealistic scenario in a dreamlike state.
The morning train, you walk in late
Describing a scene involving the listener arriving late on a morning train.
What chemicals are you releasing
Questioning the impact of emotional chemicals on the listener's presence.
Into my train wreck of a brain?
Metaphorically referring to the listener's presence affecting the speaker negatively.
It's not the spaces in your pauses
Clarifying that the issue isn't in the pauses or gaps in communication.
It's not the brilliance oh his plan
Downplaying the brilliance of a plan to connect with the listener.
To get to you
Referencing a strategic effort to reach the listener.
I don't envy that it's working
Acknowledging the effectiveness of the strategy without envy.
I envy that he's jealous of me too
Envy of being a subject of jealousy from someone else.
Still, it's not your voice and your phrasing
Reiterating that the attraction isn't solely in the voice and expression.
It's not the point that you're raising
Re-emphasizing the disregard for specific arguments or points.
It's the alarm of a happy ending
Repeating the reference to an alarm triggered by the anticipation of a positive outcome.
In this fate that I insist on escaping
Reiterating the desire to escape the predestined fate associated with happiness.
It's not your voice and your phrasing
Re-emphasizing that the attraction isn't solely in the voice and expression.
It's not the point that you're raising
Re-emphasizing the disregard for specific arguments or points.
It's the alarm of a happy ending
Repeating the reference to an alarm triggered by the anticipation of a positive outcome.
It's the fate that I insist on escaping
Reiterating the desire to escape the predestined fate associated with happiness.
